EEEE-OOOOooh AAAiiiiiiiiiiii

Thats the kind of pain one would feel when u have to write EOI's over and over for different companies---I wish i could actually submit something like this

"

To: Mr.XYZ,
Managing partner (or whatever),
Faff ur way to glory(FUWG) Consultants

Hey Dude,

Watz up? And what is this deal with EOI and all ?

Arre man u ve visited this campus like a zillion times and couldn’t u see the number of ppl attending each session? r u guys blind or something? U know this campus is full of crazy wannabe consultants and yet u want us to write an EOI? I mean puleez—People would attend your sessions amidst exams, I would say even if one of their parents is dying they would rather attend your session than attend their parent! Isnt that enuf expression of interest? And u are still asking us to write an EOI ---unfair dude

Anyways, now that u want me to write one and explain why I am interested in FUWG, I would start by saying that u guys are real kool dudes. I mean u made the whole campus realise that if we don’t get into consulting, we would be selling vada pavs at Church gate! That’s quite an achievement to make some 400 so called smart asses believe that consulting is the beginning and end of their lives—I am sure u guys use the same tactics to convince clients as well and mint money in the process. All I want is a tiny lil share in that treasure and that can legally happen only if I am allowed to carry ur company’s freakin card.

Yeah yeah I know what u r thinking now! U r thinking y this guy and y not someone else---Listen dude—I am known as the king of faff in this batch---I mean I can sell ur own car to you and then make you gift it back to me---and Coming to quant skills---I can count upto 1000 and can narrate tables upto 10 impromptu---I mean come on—u do these tables in like class 1---and I still remember them—such is my memory---
Another thing is that if I take up any other job they ll make me work hard at real issues. Wont get to travel as much—u see these days with all these airlines around there are so many airhostesses to check out---I mean I am born with a mission & unless I work with u guys how am I going to accomplish that---- u know what I mean? (BTW I am assuming that u fly us Kingfisher or Jet and not Indian for obvious reasons---Intl any full service carrier would do—preferably emirates)

Ok dude so much about me---If u are still not convinced that I am the right candidate, the loss is urs. I guarantee that u will regret it in more than one way—

Take care and c ya on day 0 (I don’t know who the hell invented that “day 0” thing but I am sure it must ve been a consultant---)

Chao

This is just venting of general frustration and not directed against any particular profession (including consulting :) ). If you are a reader of this blog (some random person) just enjoy it (if u can). If you are a c/o 2008 admit, dont worry--things aint too bad. You would feel like writing this next year. If you are a recruiter @ ISB--I am not who you think i am---If u happen to meet this guy called Venkat(the owner of this blog) offer him the highest possible salary and best possible job. He is one smart dude.

    Thank you Mr.Consultant. Coming from you, it indeed is a compliment.
    Unfortunately the other side of the table does'nt seem to agree. Once you are there, plz tell them what they are missing out on -----

    With this post you are indeed the King of Faff, demoting Mr. Consultant to the Prince of Faff. However, both of you are no match for the Emperor of Faff, who can link a Tesco on Laurel Drive in Aberdeen with the PM of India. :)
